hospital stays
I was recently in the hospital for a week. Background, t2 diabetes, amputee, sarcoidosis (on prednisone for two and a half years, so suppressed immune system). Diagnoses was sepsis, cellulitis, and septicemia. (I've had FIVE antibiotics, three iv and two oral), plus I developed very low potassium. I'm finally feeling better. (one antibiotic, clindamycin, really kicked me)
What I'm wondering, is it common for hospitals to not give much insulin? I normally take 15 units of novalog before meals, 20 units of lantis at bedtime. in the hospital, they checked my blood sugar, but all I ever got was a little bit on a sliding scale. I think the most was 10 units when I hit 300. Never my usual before meal dose. I've had that happen before, and my mother has experienced it too. I just wondered if this was common.
